I am a technopreneur and a strong believer in the transformative potential of the Web3 application layer to reshape industries and digital ecosystems.
Currently, I serve as Founder & CTO of Bitara, where I lead the development of blockchain-driven solutions focused on real-world adoption, bridging innovation with scalable, enterprise-grade
infrastructure.
Over the past decade, I have led distributed ledger technology (DLT) initiatives across multiple sectors, including e-commerce, supply chain, and financial services—driving the practical adoption of blockchain and emerging technologies in real-world enterprise environments.
I am also the founder of two startups in education technology and blockchain research, working closely with engineers, partners, and industry stakeholders to translate complex technologies into scalable, commercially viable solutions.
Before my entrepreneurial journey, I was a Mobility Technology Solutions Professional Champion at Microsoft, where I specialized in architecting and positioning partner SI/ISV solutions for large-scale enterprise digital transformation programs. In this role, I frequently engaged C-level stakeholders to align technology strategies with measurable business outcomes.
With over a decade of experience in the IT industry, my expertise spans blockchain infrastructure, enterprise architecture, digital platforms, and emerging financial technologies.
